Snowman Tea Light Holder Pottery Workshop

Claytime Lincolnshire are running a pottery workshop at the Lincoln & District Indoor Bowling Club on Friday 6 November, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. The whole session is built around making a snowman tea light holder, and it's aimed at beginners, so you don't need any previous experience to get involved.

Over the two hours, you'll build your own pottery snowman from scratch and add colour using underglaze, with all the tools and materials provided on the night. Once you've finished your piece, it's taken away to be glazed and fired, then returned to the club about four weeks later, which puts it back in your hands well before Christmas.

It's part of a wider trend that's taken hold across Lincoln lately. There's been a real surge in hands-on, screen-free activities popping up around the city — ceramics and life drawing alongside breadmaking and perfume-making — and these kinds of sessions usually run for two or three hours, include all the materials, and leave you with something to take home. They've become popular as gifts for hen parties, birthdays and team-building days, too.

The workshop runs from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the Lincoln & District Indoor Bowling Club on Hall Drive, LN6 7SW, and costs £28.
